\nAs the old saying goes\, you wouldn’\;t recognize it anymore.
\nThat’\;s a fitting way to summarize what people saw on Saturd
ay morning at the restored old MFA grain elevator on East First Street\, w
here they held a ribbon-cutting and a grand opening.\nNearly three y
ears of renovation has turned the old mill and elevator into something sp
ecial. So much remains\, that part of it can be described as a museum. A
nd that’\;s what Jim Dierberg wanted.\nFeed and grain sacks are
displayed\, as well as photographs that were blown up from old photos. Fa
rm wagons and vintage tractors were parked at the mill for Saturday’\
;s gala affair.\nThe “\;Miller’\;s Office”\; in front
of the old grain elevator was also staged for the grand opening\, complet
e with antique furnishings\, seed samples\, old ledgers\, old flour and fe
ed sacks that were procured at local auctions by Dierberg and his family.<
